A case report of pulmonary vein isolation performed in a patient with polysplenia and interrupted inferior vena cava.

In some patients, PVI cannot be done through the standard IVC approach. In such cases, a different venous access must be chosen. Our patient had a rare variant of interrupted IVC and we had to use superior vena cava approach for the procedure. The difficulty of this approach is that procedure instruments are not designed for non-standard venous access; however, a combined use of TOE, general anaesthesia, and contact force-guided ablation has succeeded in isolating patients' pulmonary veins.
